It happens to successful organizations - you lose good lieutenants.
Your hope is that's all they are; lieutenants. When the Cards lost Luhnow, they lost the actual brains of their organization and got left with a bowtie wearing schmuck that knows just enough to not lose 90 games and beat on the doofus ****s like Jim Hendry, but not enough to run with legitimately savvy organizations.
So do we think Ballard is the brains and Dorsey's just a lucky figurehead? Nah...I don't. And if that's the case, the Chiefs will be okay. There's no shortage of good football minds and talent scouts out there. The key is the ability to blend them all in a cohesive unit that's all pulling on the same side of the rope with the same set of ideas. I would think that would be Dorsey's responsibility and it shouldn't be too difficult for him to find another smart scout to plug in. That's the nature of good leadership; it replaces pieces and keeps chugging.
As for the coaching staff, I sure hope they don't lose Toub but I suspect they probably will; he's due a shot at the big chair.
